Why Are Movies Becoming Harder to Watch?
Movies are becoming harder to watch for some of us. They aren't getting any worse, but the process of watching them and even picking what to watch has become quite difficult. TikTok. Doom Scrolling. Streaming Services. They all play a part in shortening our attention spans and giving us content burnout due to there being too much content. In the end it's traditional activities like watching films and TV shows that suffer the most.
We'll be taking a look at how all these factors ruin your enjoyment of TV and film where it's even becoming difficult to focus while watching them. Dopamine, our addiction to instant gratification, motivation, and changes in the film industry are just a few of the topics we'll be covering. Although our focus will be on film, this problem is everywhere, even outside of entertainment. But we'll also be going over some ways to help fix these issues.
Chapters:

08:04 - How to Fix
Difficult to watch. TikTok. UA-cam Shorts. Short Form Media. Dopamine. Instant Gratification. Can't Focus. Low Motivation. Phone Addiction. Movies Adapting. Too Much Content. Boring Movies. Binge. Mass Consumption. Streaming Wars. Dopamine Detox. Rotate subscriptions. Infinite Scroll. Doom scrolling. Evolving entertainment.

When an Actor Is Too Passionate - Edward Norton
Переглядів 340 тис.3 місяці тому
Edward Norton is a little too passionate. When he burst onto the scene in the 90s with Primal Fear, American History X and Fight Club, you think he'd have very successful career. But things really slowed down since The Incredible Hulk and when you look at the behind the scenes stories you start to see why. Norton walks the fine line between being overly passionate and controlling. We'll be look...

    When you realize how a movie is made, it must be maddening to see your work chopped up and used in whatever way the production goes. So, be producer, director, actor. But if an actor meddles in the fields of others, there are bound to be some aggrieved parties. Seems like a crappy business to be in, which sounds bad for passionate artists who are mere ‘talent’ and noisily unhappy artists are not loved by businessmen in such a crappy business. Ed Norton now does a lot of business, too. He is more than an actor, or tries to be.

    The 2.5X rule is outdated and no longer useful. This is due to the demise of the home video market, which is non-existent anymore. For a movie to be profitable it needs to be 1.7x total expenditures, including advertising and distribution costs. So for a film that costs 200 in production, plus 150 for advertising + distribution, the movie must make $630 in box office, but that still doesn't bring into the black. It must wait for the home video and worldwide tv rights to see a profit. Unfortunately, many movies nowadays cost $250 million or more, which means they must bring nearly 800 to break even

    I think 1970's was the height of cinema, for the same reasons that I think the 1960's was the height of popular music. No one knew what they were doing. Instead of wannabe taste-makers wetting their finger and putting it to the wind, it was a bunch of cigar-chomping fat cats in a boardroom, just trying to figure out what would sell, by copying what just sold a hell of a lot. For example, you only get Alien after Star Wars hit and people were casting around looking for any script they had in-house with a friggin' spaceship, and that script had been in twentieth century's slush pile for years. In addition, budgets were reasonable. Without centering your business model around three hundred million dollar franchise tent poles studios could afford to make a handful of smaller budgeted projects in the hopes that one or two of them would hit and catch the zeitgeist.
